Installation Instructions
All cabin entertainment equipment, such as the FD70CV-M-C-6, should be installed on a
non-essential bus and have a dedicated circuit breaker. It is a requirement that a switch
be installed in the cockpit so that the pilot can de-energize the entertainment system
should it become necessary.
It is recommended that you leave approximately ¼ inch of space around the rear of the
display to have circulating air.
Power
This is a 12-28VDC monitor that requires 0.3 Amps (@28V) to 0.6 Amps (@12V) of
power to operate.

Wiring Suggestions
All shields should be grounded to the connector at the source, and floating at the display.
Avoid routing video wiring parallel to:
AC wiring
Strobe wiring
DC motor supply cables
Inverter cabling
Or any other potential noise source.
Composite Wiring
Recommended cable for s-video/composite and audio purposes is PIC 75 Ohm Coax,
P/N V76261. This is a lightweight, flexible, and low signal loss cable which meets FAA
flammability requirements of FAR 23.1359(d), FAR 25.853(a) and FAR 25.869(a)(4).
Similar aviation coaxial cable can be used from other vendors, as well.
Some aircraft are prone to AC noise - we recommend adding to the composite source a
75 Ohm video isolation transformer such as Deerfield Laboratory, Inc. Part No. 162-1
(www.deerfieldlab.com, [phone]). In most cases this should be added to the video
output of the source.

VGA Wiring
Recommended cable for VGA purpose is ECS P/N 453005. This is a single shielded
cable containing 5 separate coaxial cables, color-coded to match the functions of the
wires.
We recommend coax cables be terminated using solder sleeve coaxial cable terminators
such as Raychem Part Number CWT-4174-W122-5/9.

Mounting and Base Information
The FD70CV-M-C-6 mates with a standard FDBASE( left); however, FDS Avionics Corp. has
various types of bases that maybe more suitable for your aircraft. Below are examples of the
FDBASE and FDBASE-W(right, wall mount):
The connector seats deeply in the mount, the secure High Density DB15 pin and connector can only
be connected one direction.
Power and Ground Wiring
22 AWG wire is recommended for Power and Ground applications.
